Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-18 10:20:15 UTC
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml:
 has only GNOME 2.12 guide, could probably also have the 2.16 guide

 "Gnome 2.12 Upgrade Guide: This guide shows you the recommended way of upgrading 
 your existing to GNOME 2.12. It assumes that GNOME 2.12 is in STABLE. 2.12 should 
 be stable on all archs very soon."

Gnome 2.14 is already stable on all arches

1) We don't maintain documents in /proj/en/, so if you have issues with the *content* in the gnome-2.12 guide, you need to contact that project (gnome/desktop) to get that changed.

2) I don't mind updated guides, but the gnome 2.16 guide is a joke, thus far. It's terribly incomplete; there's nothing too useful in it, yet. Once dang or someone else adds some real content, then we'll link to it. It needs to be more of a  step-by-step howto, like the existing 2.12 guide.

As it is, it's not worth linking to just yet, especially since gnome 2.16 isn't out of ~arch yet.

When it is, though, ping me, because I like working on the gnome docs, and I'll gladly get things setup on the GDP's end. :)

Reopening for a sec...

This was fixed after gnome 2.16 was stable.
